I've Seen A Lot Of 'show Boats,'

There Are Wonderful Composers And Librettists Out There. It's The Lack Of Creative Producers That Is Troubling.

I Got Successful Awfully Quick, And I Wanted It... But I Do Think There Is Responsibility To Move The Musical Theater Form Forward. I Think You Always Have To Be Aware Of The Work That Came Before And Build On That.

Nothing Is Staged Exactly As It Was, Because I Can't Remember - And I Consider That An Advantage.

I Would Like To See More New Productions Of New Material By New Composers/lyricists/book Writers. I Would Like To See People Take More Chances. I Think Because Everything Costs So Much They're Not Taking The Chances They Used To.

It's Nice To Stay Up Nights Worrying About The Material, And Not About The Investors Who Gave You $10 Million To Do Your Musical.
